ASA IDEAS

*Try to use the oven every time since I'm giving them 30%, discuss clean up first, pour out any liquid, stack cups in cooler, food waste in compost bag, stack plates in cooler, any dirty tools in cooler, rules, no running, look around you before you start to walk, clean hands always so sneezing or touching your hair or an itch means washing again.
